Remote-controlled demolition
machine manufacturer Brokk
has introduced the C20 Rock
Splitter attachment, manufactured
by its German sister company,
Darda. The C20 Rock Splitter
offers contractors a safe and
quiet alternative to explosives
and hydraulic breakers and
increases productivity in the
mining, quarrying, tunnelling,
construction and demolition
industries. The C20 Rock Splitter
comes in four models — two
vertical options ranging from
163cm to 183cm long, as well
as two horizontal options, from
179cm to 211cm long — and can be
used with Brokk machines ranging
in size from the new Brokk 280
(with counterweights) and up.
Contractors drill a 7.5cm-diameter
hole into the rock with a separate
attachment before inserting the
splitter, which expands with up to
1 633t of force, splitting the rock.

Wirtgen launches Kleemann Mobiscreen MS 703
EVO in South Africa
Wirtgen SA launched the Kleemann Mobiscreen MS 703 EVO for the construction
and mining sectors to the South African market in June 2017.
Wirtgen SA, local subsidiary of
the Wirtgen Group, launched
the Kleemann Mobiscreen MS
703 EVO for the construction
and mining sectors to the South
African market on 9 June 2017.
Developed and designed in
Germany, the Kleemann MS
703 EVO is a triple-deck mobile
classification screen that
precisely screens out almost all
types of coarse natural stone,
residual construction materials
and iron particulates of up to
150mm up to four fractions.
Measuring in at 1.520m x
4.440m with a 75kW engine
and with a feed capacity of 350
tonnes per hour, the MS 703
EVO comes with either diesel-
hydraulic or diesel-electric
drive as well as a large number
of screening media to achieve a
variety of final grain sizes and to
take different feed material.
The plant’s large feed hopper
can readily accept feeding by
means of a wheel loader or
excavator, or directly from a
crushing plant, and the built-in
peripheral platform ensures
easy access for maintenance and
screen media changing. Various
mesh shapes and dimensions
are available, including square,
rectangular and harp, depending
on the required application.
Bell Equipment has signed an agreement
with global excavator specialist, Kobelco
Construction Machinery (Kobelco), for
the exclusive distribution and support of
the Kobelco range of excavators in the
southern African region.
Bell will develop the full range of Ko-
belco excavators, from the small 1t mini
excavators through to the largest 85t
units that can be used as loading tools
for Bell’s articulated dump trucks in
the construction, quarrying and mining
industries.
A division of Japanese-based Kobe
Steel, Kobelco developed Japan's first
construction machine in 1930 and its
first wheel-mounted hydraulic excavator
in 1963. In 1967 the company launched
the first crawler-type hydraulic excava-
tor produced using Kobelco's proprietary
technology, and in 2006 it introduced the
world's first hybrid excavator.
Teams from both companies are cur-
rently laying the foundation to ensure
that they are able to meet customer
expectations. Bell Equipment group
marketing director, Stephen Jones,
says the Bell Global Logistics Centre is
currently stocking up on parts, while
technical staff and sales and application
specialists are being trained to deal with
the new products.
